Mark Sanford's wife is moving out and she's taking the kids with her. South Carolina's first lady Jenny Sanford is officially leaving the governor's mansion in Columbia today and is headed for the Sanford family home in Charleston.

"I have decided to move back to our home in Charleston with our sons for the upcoming school year. From there, we will work to continue the process of healing our family," Jenny Sanford said.

The relationship between the governor and the first lady continues to be strained after Mark Sanford publicly admitted to an affair with Argentinian Maria Belen Chapur.

"I could digress and say that you have the ability to give magnificently gentle kisses, or that I love your tan lines or that I love the curves of your hips, the erotic beauty of you holding yourself (or two magnificent parts of yourself) in the faded glow of night's light - but hey, that would be going into the sexual details we spoke of at the steakhouse at dinner - and unlike you I would never do that," he wrote in one.

Sanford has tried to repair the damage done to his personal life due to his philandering. He took his family on a European vacation last week. However the move by the first lady seems to indicate there's more work that needs to be done.
